Restore disks won't restore!?

I just replaced my 80G HD in my PowerBook G4 with a 120G. It formatted to 110G without complaint; however, the original Jaguar install/restore disk won't accept it. What do I need to do?
 
What you're saying is that you can boot from the installation/restore disk(s) and get to the point where you'd select a harddrive and it isn't available? Is there an explanation if you try and select it? Or doesn't it even show up? What exactly happens...?
 
Ahh. This is a problem that occurs when you format a disk after booting from the installation disk. If you boot from installation disk and then format the drive, you will have to REBOOT after formatting before you can install. So once you reboot from the installation disk, you WILL be able to choose the drive as the destination -- so long as you don't reformat it again.
